Today’s Run: 50 lifting at the “Y”

Many of you know that my husband and I have a favorite running route.  Schaeffer’s Chapel.  This is a quiet little route with a plank bridge that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  We pass over the bridge and pass fields of cattle until we reach our turnaround point, Shaeffer’s Chapel.  This route is a comfortable five mile round trip.

As of yesterday, this route of ours was closed.

They have been working on a section of road along our house for two years.  They have decided that our Schaeffer’ Chapel Road was obsolete.  They do not seem to like our plank bridge and deteriorating road.  This is sad.  It is quaint, cozy, comfortable, canopied by trees, companionable with the cattle, breathtaking in it’s beauty.  Rats.  It is closed.

So, they have built a new entrance road to go to Shaeffer’s Chapel.  It is too far down a four lane highway for us to run to the entrance safely.  No more Schaeffer’s  Chapel for us. R.I.P.
